Finally got my SD-50 a couple of days ago. I must say it fits my needs perfectly. I like the sound of it, I know sound is a very subjective thing but for me it does the job. As mentioned earlier, certain features don't work when connected to the computer. The strong point for me is using just the usb cable and getting audio and midi running through the unit as an audio interface. I can also connect my instrument mic. With the sd-50 I can leave several midi cables, mixer, audio cables, and usb midisport at home. I know there are those who like to nit pick everything and say that this device is a watered down Sonic Cell, you're right. The price is also watered down about 600 bucks, which I like. All I can say is if you are looking for a hardware module you might want to take a look at the SD-50.
